Saints beat writer Nick Underhill reports the knee injury Ty Chandler suffered in Saturday’s game against the Rams is “feared to be serious.”

This explains the team’s decision to go out and trade for Zamir White on Sunday. Chandler, who was competing for a roster spot in camp, has rushed for 710 yards and three touchdowns in his four-year career and returned a kick for 86 yards in the Saints’ first preseason game against the Jaguars.
